What I did on my summer vacation

How do you celebrate the conclusion of nine years as dean of the Faculty of Science and a new appointment as director of the Arts & Science Program?

From June 19 to 25, Sutherland participated in the Denver Post Ride The Rockies, an annual bicycle tour that takes 2,000 cyclists on a weeklong ride through Colorado's Rocky Mountains.

John Capone finds new home

In his new office in the General Sciences Building, less than two weeks into starting his job as the new dean of science, boxes are still unopened, the walls are devoid of pictures and his desk is in relative order.

Old computers get second lease on life

Two things McMaster prides itself on - state-of-the-art technology and recycling - have a lot in common. When the university updates its technology, the old equipment gets a second life. Through a Surplus Computer Donation Program, the University encourages offices and departments that are upgrading electronic or clearing out older models and getting rid of working computers, hard drives, monitors or CD-Roms, to consider donating the old equipment to a non-profit organization called "Computers for Schools". This organization reuses the computers in classrooms at elementary and high schools across Ontario.
